Fusion on Linux using Wine

Going from another topic, which the board apparently prohibits me to link to, quite a few of you actually run Fusion on Linux using Wine. As I find it very impractical to have to reboot between Linux and Windows for different programs, I tried to wine it myself too.

This attempt was without success though. The installation completes fine, but the application gets stuck loading. Is anyone else running Fusion on Wine, and how did you get it to work?

I think you need to post around 5 times until you're allowed to post links.

Anyway, I think the wine thing has to do with previous versions of Fusion (before the acquisition by Blackmagic Design) that had an official Linux version which relied on a custom version of wine for its GUI. I have never heard of somebody trying to run the Windows version via the regular wine. Was this topic on this board or on another one like PigsFly?

That is correct, it was a very custom version of wine developed by the eyeon team. You can't just run fusion in a standard wine setup.

Ah, sucks. I hope BlackMagic will sooner or later also support Linux.
